It's around a 6". I de'arched my 8" lift to get the highth i was looking for. The first set is 16.5x14 on 33/15.5 the bottom picture has 15x12 on 33/15.5. That's a good point on the brake upgrades... the problem is that these are for another build, you can see the build tread on this truck on my page. I don't know how to attach a link otherwise I would.

15x12 vs 16.5x14 That is the question!

My answer would be the 16.5X14. This way you'll be able to upgrade the brakes. Might find it difficult to stop with stock diameter rotors and such tall tires.

Extremely good point. I like the look of both set ups.

I'm looking for a 67-68 Chevy 4x4 short bed . It's going to have the same look as my k5.
